Identify Your Personal Data Before It Becomes a Risk
Antivirus software and firewalls protect your systems, but they don’t tell you where your personal information lives or who can access it. Yet sensitive data forgotten in an old folder, an email, or a shared file represents a major risk of leaks and non compliance. The more data a business accumulates, the more it exposes itself to costly breaches and penalties under Law 25. At Connextek, protecting your personal information is our priority.

Discovery and Mapping of Your Personal Information
Every engagement starts with a full analysis of your environments. This process reveals where your personal information and sensitive data live, across your emails, servers, and cloud applications, so you can strategically plan what needs protecting.
Classification and Risk Assessment
Make informed protection decisions through automatic data classification. We identify your most critical information and measure your risk level, so you can focus first on what could expose your business to a leak or non compliance.
Access Control for Sensitive Data
Controlling your data starts with controlling who can access it. Connextek reviews permissions on your sensitive files and flags excessive or unnecessary access, reducing the risk of personal information ending up in the wrong hands.
Continuous Monitoring of Your Personal Information
Our distinctive platform combines leading edge technology with unmatched local expertise, continuously analyzing your data to ensure robust protection and lasting compliance for SMEs across Quebec and Greater Montreal, for every budget.
Do You Know Where Your Personal Information Is?
Most businesses underestimate how much personal information and sensitive data they’ve accumulated over the years. This information ends up scattered across emails, servers, workstations, and cloud applications, often without anyone knowing exactly where it is or who can access it.
Our analysis tool maps out all of your sensitive data and measures your risk level, before a leak or incident happens.
Our technology identifies:
- The exact location of your personal information (PII) across all your environments.
- Duplicate, forgotten, or misplaced sensitive data.
- Files accessible to too many users.
- Your level of risk exposure and Law 25 compliance.
Choosing Connextek means gaining a complete local team, including an IT director and data protection specialists, working to keep your personal information exactly where it belongs: under your control.

You Can't Protect Data You Don't Know You Have
Protecting the personal information of your clients and employees is far more than a legal obligation, it’s a mark of trust and long term stability for your business.
Our data discovery and classification solution shows you exactly what sensitive information you hold, where it lives, and who can access it. This visibility is the essential first step to reducing the risk of a leak, and also to meeting the requirements of Law 25, which requires Quebec businesses to protect personal information and manage confidentiality incidents. You can’t demonstrate compliance for data you don’t even know you have.
For SMEs across Quebec and Greater Montreal, taking data protection seriously is a strategic decision. It’s an asset that reassures your clients, satisfies your partners and insurers, and protects your business, its reputation, and its future for the long term.

-
What Is Data Discovery and Classification (PII)?
Data discovery and classification means automatically scanning your entire environment (email, servers, workstations, cloud applications) to find where your personal information (PII) and sensitive data live, then categorizing it by level of risk. For an SME, this is the foundation of good data protection: you can't secure or demonstrate compliance for data whose existence or location you don't even know about.
-
What Counts as Personal Information (PII) Under Law 25?
Personal information is any data that can identify a person, directly or indirectly: name, address, social insurance number, medical record, financial data, email address, and more. In Quebec, Law 25 strictly regulates the collection, use, and protection of this data. Businesses need to know what personal information they hold and be able to protect it, or face significant penalties.
-
Why Does It Matter to Know Where My Sensitive Data Is Located?
Because you can't protect what you can't see. Over time, businesses accumulate personal information that ends up scattered across multiple systems, often duplicated, forgotten, or stored in the wrong place. Every poorly managed piece of sensitive data represents a risk of leaks and non compliance. Mapping your data is the first step toward reducing your risk exposure and taking back control.
-
How Does Data Discovery Help with Law 25 Compliance?
Law 25 requires Quebec businesses to protect personal information and be able to respond to a confidentiality incident. To do that, you first need to know what data you hold and where it's located. Our solution builds a complete inventory of your personal information, identifies high risk areas, and generates reports that demonstrate due diligence during an audit or a complaint. It's practical support for your compliance.
-
What's the Difference Between Data Discovery and a DLP Solution?
The two work together. Data discovery and classification tell you what sensitive information you hold and where it's located: that's the mapping. A DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution then stops that data from leaving the business without authorization: that's the control. You always start with discovery, since it's impossible to effectively protect data you haven't identified yet.
-
Does the Solution Scan My Data in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Yes. Our platform integrates with the main cloud environments used by SMEs, including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, as well as servers and workstations. It continuously analyzes your data, wherever it's located, making it ideal for businesses with remote teams or hybrid environments.
-
Who Can Access My Sensitive Data Within My Business?
This is often an SME's biggest blind spot. Over time, permissions pile up, and many sensitive files end up accessible to far too many employees. Our solution reviews access and permissions across your data, flags excessive or unnecessary access, and helps you apply the principle of least privilege, reducing the risk of personal information ending up in the wrong hands.
-
Are Your Data Protection Services a Good Fit for Clinics, Professional Offices, and Regulated Firms?
Yes. We support numerous medical clinics, accounting firms, notaries, engineering firms, and businesses governed by professional orders across Quebec and Greater Montreal. These organizations handle large volumes of personal and confidential information. Our discovery and classification solutions are built to meet Law 25 obligations and the confidentiality requirements specific to each regulated sector.
-
Do You Offer Data Protection Services Across Quebec?
Yes. Our services are available across Quebec, with a strong presence in Montreal, Greater Montreal, and Quebec City. We also support remote and mobile teams, and our solutions adapt easily to hybrid and distributed environments, whether remote or on site.
-
